I Am Wonderfully Content With A God

For Those Who Feel Their Lives Are A Grave Disappointment To God, It Requires Enormous Trust And Reckless, Raging Confidence To Accept That The Love Of Jesus Christ Knows No Shadow Of Alteration Or Change. When Jesus Said, "come To Me, All You Who Labor And Are Heavy Burdened," He Assumed We Would Grow Weary, Discouraged, And Disheartened Along The Way. These Words Are A Touching Testimony To The Genuine Humanness Of Jesus. He Had No Romantic Notion Of The Cost Of Discipleship. He Knew That Following Him Was As Unsentimental As Duty, As Demanding As Love.

My Trust In God Flows Out Of The Experience Of His Loving Me, Day In And Day Out, Whether The Day Is Stormy Or Fair, Whether I'm Sick Or In Good Health, Whether I'm In A State Of Grace Or Disgrace. He Comes To Me Where I Live And Loves Me As I Am.

Quia Amasti Me, Fecisti Me Amabilem. (in Loving Me, You Made Me Lovable.)

Silent Solitude Makes True Speech Possible And Personal. If I Am Not In Touch With My Own Belovedness, Then I Cannot Touch The Sacredness Of Others. If I Am Estranged From Myself, I Am Likewise A Stranger To Others.

None Of Us Has Ever Seen A Motive. Therefore, We Don't Know We Can't Do Anything More Than Suspect What Inspires The Action Of Another. For This Good And Valid Reason, We're Told Not To Judge. Tragedy Is That Our Attention Centers On What People Are Not, Rather Than On What They Are And Who They Might Become.
